In doing so they have evolved a great variety of life forms,  and their reproduction and development are correspondingly diverse,  with many modes and patterns unique in the animal kingdom. In this  special volume recent progress in this broad research area is  presented by 26 specialists, in general through surveys or treatments  of selected examples. Some of them review important annelid taxa such  as the Nereididae, Syllidae, Spionidae, Cirratulidae, Clitellata, and  Pogonophora; others analyse reproductive and developmental structures  and phenomena in annelids, e.g. segmental organs, sex pheromones,  oogenesis, mating systems, sperm types, life cycles, larval  settlement, cleavage and symmetry of embryos, or discuss controversial  approaches to annelid systematics. The book will be of interest to all  zoologists who work with annelids as well as to embryologists and  other researchers in reproductive biology.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 December 2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9789048153404\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e314\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51533178470540,"sku":"9789048153404","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048153404.jpg?v=1784761538","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048153404","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
